In a medium bowl combine chicken, pickle brine, and 1/8 tsp. each kosher salt and ground black pepper. Cover and chill 1 to 4 hours. In a shallow dish stir together the flour, baking powder, celery salt, paprika, and 1/8 tsp. each kosher salt and black pepper. Remove chicken from brine mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Coat chicken well with flour mixture. Dip again in brine mixture, then again in flour mixture. Let breaded chicken stand about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 300°F.
